Re the enlarged text --> scrolling off the screen thing: how fiddly is it to hand-edit the source? The Countess gets this problem *all* the time, and I have no idea how to deal with it...

Er ... it depends. If you're so comfortable with HTML that you use it to mark up text for printing instead of bothering to launch a word processor, or routinely throw <blockquote>, <ul>, and <table> tags into LJ comments, then it depends on which way the boneheads broke it and how ugly their machine-generated code is. If you're lucky -- a fair amount of unedited amateur fiction falls into this group -- it can just mean pasting the code into 'vi', hitting a couple of keystrokes, and copying it back. For a more complex document, you may have to go through a paragraph at a time so as to not break something else.

If you're not comfortable with HTML to that degree, it probably won't be easy unless you get really lucky and just have to delete an inapropriate <table> tag in one place. First step is figuring out exactly how they broke it, in any case.

Oh, if you're really lucky, just picking 'user style' instead of 'author style' on the View menu will fix the problem, without ever looking at the source. This morning I was not that lucky.
